Interesting car. Wood roof walk and laterals, and a Morton brake platform. And the roof walk is made entirely of short boards one roof panel (width) long.

Have a good clear photo copy of a freshlybuilt CP all steel 40' box showing such a roofwalk, so I've scanned it and a detail shot of the roofwalk and posted it here:

Tom Madden, more curious about the construction of the roof walk than the deteriorating car cement.
